In November 2016, the ETP&SS program conducted a health facility assessment to understand the overall capacity of eight pre-identified health facilities. The assessment informed the development of a comprehensive facility activity plan, which captured service delivery, capacity building, and system strengthening activities. When implemented in a participatory manner, infrastructure interventions (physical, equipment, and water supply) can enhance government ownership of the decision-making process for quality of care.

Lessons learned from Guinea’s sentinel site approach to surveillance of Ebola survivors for preventing and containing future outbreaks and monitoring the health status of survivors.
The 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic primarily affected three countries, two anglophone (Liberia and Sierra Leone) and one francophone (Guinea). APC’s program succeeded in sharing documents and research findings among its three country offices and local counterparts despite the ever present language barrier. Key strategies are addressed in the document.
This tool is designed to measure staff capacity, infrastructure capacity, and equipment capacity in a limited resources health facility. The results from the assessment inform the type and level of support an implementing partner might provide to health facilities. In this case, the aim of the support provided was to improve the quality of medical services for Ebola survivors. As such, priority was placed on improving areas most pertinent to survivor needs.
Interview with Ms. Amanda Ndorbor, National Coordinator for the EVD Survivor Secretariat in Liberia.
Informational brochure for Ebola survivors about the risks of transmission of Ebola through semen and other body fluids, based on WHO, NIH, and other research findings. Also includes information on how to access semen testing programs.
Watch an interview with Guinea’s Director of National Health Security Agency, Dr. Sakoba Keita, discussing his perspectives on their country’s post-Ebola response strategy, including priority actions, benefits, challenges, gaps, best practices, and what could have been done differently.
The primary goal of these community-based trainings is to provide peer-to-peer support at the local level; they also help to build relationships within communities.
These tools are intended to supplement the above training and be used at health centers where EVD survivors are being treated. Tools include assessments for county or district health teams and clinicians, as well as a patient exit interview template and materials checklist.
This is an orientation for frontline health workers on providing appropriate and respectful care for EVD survivors; the curriculum takes three days to complete.
